Your patient is a 60-year-old woman with anemia. Her hematocrit is 17%; she has been experiencing subtle gastrointestinal bleeding over many weeks. Her physician requests 4 units of RBCs for transfusion. The patient phenotypes as group AB, D-positive. Her antibody screen is negative on the sample drawn in the emergency department. Patient records indicate a previously detected anti-E. Only three group AB, D-positive RBC units are available in the blood bank’s inventory. The blood bank’s inventory contains RBC donor units of all ABO and D types.  What crossmatch procedure is necessary? Why?  Is any additional screening required on the donor units before crossmatching?

What can cause a person to develop antibodies against Rh-positive RBCs

Plssssss helppppp, Describe the differences you see between the three slides.

I have a patient who is blood type B- and has received a blood donation from a blood type B- donor. Will the patient's immune system accept the red blood cells from the donor as "self" cells and allow the cells to live? Will the patient's immune system accept the white blood cells (B cells, T cells, etc) from the donor as "self" cells and allow the cells to live?

A Medical Technology staff in blood bank laboratory proceeds with weak D/Du typing in one of her blood donor who happened to be RH negative for anti-D typing.  She performed indirect antihuman globulin test (IAT) and her results revealed the presence of agglutination.Question 1: How will the MT staff reports the RH type of the donor? Support answer (with explanation). Question 2: Can a Du positive patient be classified as RH negative? Support answer (with explanation).

ou just received the properly labeled blood bank specimen on patient Aran Stark. You decide to collect some background information about her known historical antibodies before beginning the work-up knowing that she has a history of anti-E, anti-K, anti-Jk^a, anti-Fy^a, anti-M and anti-Le^a.   Which of these antibodies react best at 37C?
